Thread: Second Wookiee Concept Armor
Exp24 ... Put my glasses on? I know the horns are on the helmet. How many viking have you seen with Horned shoulder pads??? The wookie armour still look awfull.
Try fixing bugs instead of adding things to try take ppl's minds off current problems.

Will there be only one Wookie Armor or will we have a few different looks to choose from?
we will no longer be the gimps of the game hehe
I'm still skeptical, but I was about the last one, and that ended up looking pretty good in game. I'm still curious if we're going to get armor that's at least somewhat modernized, but in the end I'll get over it if it keeps me alive. One thing that struck me as odd though...
The armor depicted here combines functional protective coverings with trophies from past hunts.
1) Wookies are NOT ewoks.
2) Is the Development team aware that Wookies are a technologically advanced and capable race? If so, why dress them as savages?
I prefer the direction taken by the battle padding (althought just clothing) VASTLY over this confusion between what is worn by a nature-oriented society and what is worn by savages with no knowlege of craftsmanship. Our only canon characters were a Starship Mechanic and Co-Pilot, and a background glimpse of a Senator and his entourage. Why then are we expected to believe they are akin to stone-age wariors in their personal protection?
Thankfully, no one will be required to wear either of these armors, but we all know the pattern- next we will be told Wookies (in armor) off-set the balance of the game, and the stats ofthis beloved race will get a good thwack with the Nerf bat... and frankly if I'm going to get into a melee fight with a Master Nerfer, I want my armor to at least look good!
